War Child's Care System is addressing the mental health of children in conflict zones with evidence-based care.
“To meet the increasingly complex and urgent needs of the growing number of conflict-affected children, urgent innovation is required.”
Approximately 468 million children worldwide are currently living in areas affected by armed conflict, according to recent data from the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) and Save the Children. That translates to more than one in six children on the planet living within a 50km radius of armed violence, a statistic that's double what it was in the mid-1990s.
Dr. Mark Jordans, Director of Research and Development at War Child Alliance joins this episode of Stories of Impact Podcast to discuss how War Child's innovative, evidence-based Care System is promoting psychosocial wellbeing and reducing the impact of conflict and war on children's mental health.
